US Officials Find Up To 60 Pakistani Stowaways on Cargo Ship

US officials seized cargo today from a ship with goods from India and Egypt. As many as 60 Pakistani stowaways were found on board.Yahoo reported:

U.S. authorities seized a cargo ship with goods from India and Egypt on Wednesday after hearing what sounded like people stowed away inside a container on the vessel, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

The container was buried beneath others and had not been opened hours after the ship was stopped, said Coast Guard spokesman Charles Rowe said. The ship’s manifest said the container was loaded onto the vessel on June 7 and was carrying machine parts.

At least seven ambulances waited outside Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, where dozens of containers were moved to the dock for inspection. Authorities knocked on the outside of the red, blue or gray containers, listening for noises, and opened and searched them.

The vessel, Villa D’Aquarius, was stopped at 3 a.m. EDT (0700 GMT) at a standard checkpoint for incoming ships, the Ambrose Anchorage below the Verrazano Bridge in New York Harbor, Rowe said.

“The boarding team went aboard for a routine inspection. They heard sounds that were consistent with people being inside a container,” Rowe said.

These folks were invited here by Barack Hussein Obama–potential voters for November 2012! No doubt that if any of them are still alive–they’ll be given amnesty and probably an invite to the WH by the fraud-in-chief!!!

NOBAMA2012!!!

Looks like the Muslims are either getting help to board these vessels, or they’re very good at being stowaways. Makes one wonder how many have slipped by and weren’t caught.

Did the inspector’s find the suitcase nukes they were carrying? Did they check the ship for radiation traces? Coming from Egypt? You know what the attitude of Egypt’s new president is towards America don’t you? Now the Muslim Brotherhood has access to the nukes Egypt has, all the rockets, anti-aircraft missles, you name it. And don’t you think he wouldn’t hesitate to give Al Quaeda some of those missles and nuclear material to send to this country? And since there isn’t any way to check a whole ship for radio active material, something that Al Quaeda is waiting to be shipped to them will show up in the back of a delivery truck at some bogus business address and explode taking out part of New York.

Give them Che Guevara T shirts and La Raza membership and big Sis will look the other way.

how did they know they were pakistani’s? did they ask for “PAPERS” and found out they didn’t have any?

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Let em loose. An ACLU lawyer showed up at the docks and gave them the phone number to call & report prejudice.
Crime? Stopped for congregating in a steel container while muslim
Police to be strip searched and then put in jail for crime.

What? you think I’m kidding? if they came through the desert in Arizona would it be any different?

Drill holes in the bottom and throw it in the water. See if Allah really does exist

They heard about the ‘dream act’. Can you blame them? Free everything,..live 30 times better on welfare in the U.S. than they can in their own country – and Obama won’t deport them – this is just the tip of the third world iceberg heading our way.

Obama needs to be impeached.

You know, the obvious hate I see toward Islamic terrorists is one thing which I can’t agree with more – they need to be wiped off the planet as they are an abomination for all religions including Islam. But to blanket all Muslims and hate on them is another. As a muslim I do NOT tow the Liberal diseased party line or plan on voting for Obama as far as the stereotypes go.

As a muslim AND conservative (politically, ideologically, and financially speaking) it’s pretty damn enraging to see others on the right/conservatives blatantly bashing Muslims with complete and utter ignorance and xenophobia. What’s sad is we probably agree on a LOT more than these bigots think.

As for the story here, it’s no surprise they’d report this – it contains the juicy word “Muslim” when there are cases like this happening often from LOTS of other countries and ethnic backgrounds (oh I dunno, China?) who try to get over here to get away from their corrupt and repressive homes/governments.

Sorry but I can find no mention that any stowaways were found. How about some links.

Obama will be flying up there to personally register them all to vote. His campaign advisors say he really needs to capture the Pakistani container voting block, he already has the Mexican car trunk voters in the bag.

They should have been put on a C-130 and flown straight to GITMO. Sort it out from there.

Sheesh, from wedding register to raise campaign cash to importing voters for shame, for shame.

Hmmm, sounds like another case of devious racial profiling; no doubt Homeland Security is on top of it, or maybe in on it… Wonder how many others have entered the country this way, and with weapons; at least this one wasn’t a dirty nuke waiting for transfer to Manhattan or Washington…

Distant relatives of Osama Bin Laden who have finished their year of mourning. Bin Laden had extensive ties in the islamic merchant marine . Big Sis will erase all the findings, declare false alarm, and ship these 60 muslim brothers off to Dearborn …give them free homes taken from foreclosed American families .

Still curious to know where the “60” came from. I’d think it would be on some of the other sites. You know like Drudge, Hot Air, Breitbart, The Blaze etc.

They didn’t even find any stowaways today so who came up with this BS that they found 60 they didn’t even find 1.

Kingslayor

Don’t worry you little DEMO-SO-COMMS your illegal alien president will set them up with a free stay at one of the Hilton’s, with a limo and free cell phone all on the tax payers dime!!!

Ok – what really happened here?? There were 2 IPN (Incident Page Network) alerts that came through yesterday on this. One saying there were 57 stowaways found and being treated for exposure. Now all of a sudden, they found nothing?? Something is being covered up here…
